Some interesting data in respect to
the political complexion for the new
house have been complied at the capitol.
OF the l6S regular democrats 1t seems
that l04 are old members reelected and
81 are new members. Out of the lO4
old members, 50 have been returned
from the south and IS from the north;
while 80 of the new members are from
southern states and 81 from northern
states. Altogether, the southern states
have 102 democratic representatives
and the northern states, 90. On the
republican side of the house there are
90 old members and 50 new members.
making l53 i'm all. The northern states
send back 50 of the old members who
are reelected, while but five old mem
beers have been returned from the whole
Of the south. The southern states.
however, return ii new republicans,
making Is republican representatives
from the whole south. The northern
states have elected 4S new republican
representatives, and have total repre-
sentation liz the house of 1873 republi-
can members.

IN LINE.

The Kiowa Herald. of last week, re-
ferring to the fact that the Dodge City
Democrat was demanding the closing
Of saloons in that city. published these
timely truths that must be admitted by
every fair minded citizen of Barber
county: Whisky has been the heav-
lest burden ever borne by the democrat
&c party and the Herald thinks it Is
about time it was thrown overheard.
The fact that tue democratic ticket in
Barber county was successful this year
with whisky and all it's Influences and
resources arrayed against it leaves no
doubt in our mind but what the influ-
ence of morality and law is better
and safer ballast to carry. Saloons and
joints always control the votes of a
great percentage of the vicious and
wicked that usually congregate around
the Bacchanalian bar and ten dollar
bill thrown carelessly into the hands of
the knight of the white apron some
times is sufficient to defeat the inter-
ests of a whole county. In word the
saloon OF election day is nothing more
nor less than the counting room of
Satan and the market place where the
honor and principle of men are barter
ed for few drinks of deIusive fluid
which drives the soul that many leagues
nearer the bOttomless pit.

Should the crown prince die, it is be-
lieved the shock would kill his aged and
distinguished father the Kaiser, in
which event, Prince William would be
the natural successor to the throne as
Emperor of Germany. The young man,
it is said, has great ambition to emu
late Frederick the Great. That would
mean war. In anticipation of this state
of affairs, European securities have al
ready dropped and there is great I'M
certainty as to what may happen.
The United States will be satisfied, I'M
der any circumstances; but European
war would mean financial and CONNER
cial prosperity for this country.

ADVERTISE HOME.

1t Is the duty Of every citizen inter
ested In the prosperity of this county
TO use every opportunity for advertis
ing its resources. The two home pa
pers, the INDEX and the Cresset, ever,

Kansas. An instance Last week eacl-

interesting articles on the cotton gin
and cotton industry IF Barber county
Copies of those papers should have beei
sent away from here by the hundreds
And so IL is every week. We regularly
publish articles telling about our won
ierful water supply, gypsum deposits
productive fields, railroad prospects
coal and salt prospects, grazing dis
Lricts, mill demands, and hundreds OF
other industries, in operation or pro
posed.
The publishers weekly send ava,
dozens of sample copies. for which the

Thy should not every public-spirite,
;itizen assist in this successful way o,
advertising the county?
In other places the city councils ant
boards of trade have taken this in hand
and regularly pay for thousands of ex
ira copies of their local papers. Here
the publishers have never asked fol-
donations or contributions and tho
suggestions now made are not in the
nature of an appeal for charity. Blu
We know that money expended in Thu
cause will bring forth good results.
There is nothing that can give a
stranger higher opinion of town OF
county than to receive copy of one OF
more clean, creditable newspapers pub
iished there.

An opportunity is now afforded all

Forest fires were formerly confined TO
the pine regions in the north, but the
unprecedented drouth in the west and
south have caused this terror to be
dreaded. In Southeast Missouri and
through Arkansas. Tennessee and
Kentucky fires have been raging for
weeks. The dense smoke from the fires
has settled over the country and in
many cases delayed railroad and water
transportation. Rain is eagerly looked
for as the only hope for the quenching
of the flames.
